30年代的时候，靠房产抵押得到的贷款可以比房子的售价更多。这大概就是现在私募股权领域的情形。 - 每日文摘

得到后再失去，远比一无所有要痛苦的多。

善善不进，恶恶不退；贤者隐蔽，不肖在位；国受其害。

风从一个方向刮往另一个方向，在这个大走向之中，万物都被恢弘地统一进了同一场巨大的倾斜。

我不是榜样。我只是想做我自己。

I'm not a role model. I'm just trying to be myself.

The path to the CEO's office should not be through the CFO's office, and it should not be through the marketing department. It needs to be through engineering and design.

通往CEO办公室的道路不应经过CFO办公室，也不应经过营销部门。它需要经过工程和设计。

The old ways fade like the sunset over the fields, beautiful but fleeting.

古老的方式像田野上的日落一样褪色，美丽但转瞬即逝。

As a kid， I spent my summers with my grandparents on their ranch in Texas. I helped fix windmills， vaccinate cattle， and do other chores. We also watched soap operas every afternoon， especially "Days of our Lives." My grandparents belonged to a Caravan Club， a group of Airstream trailer owners who travel together around the U.S. and Canada. And every few summers， we'd join the caravan. We'd hitch up the Airstream trailer to my grandfather's car， and off we'd go， in a line with 300 other Airstream adventurers. I loved and worshipped my grandparents and I really looked forward to these trips. On one particular trip， I was about 10 years old. I was rolling around in the big bench seat in the back of the car. My grandfather was driving. And my grandmother had the passenger seat. She smoked throughout these trips， and I hated the smell.

在我还是一个孩子的时候，我的夏天总是在德州祖父母的农场中度过。我帮忙修理风车，为牛接种疫苗，也做其它家务。每天下午，我们都会看肥皂剧，尤其是《我们的岁月》。我的祖父母参加了一个房车俱乐部，那是一群驾驶Airstream拖挂型房车的人们，他们结伴遍游美国和加拿大。每隔几个夏天，我也会加入他们。我们把房车挂在祖父的小汽车后面，然后加入300余名Airstream探险者们组成的浩荡队伍。我爱我的祖父母，我崇敬他们，也真心期盼这些旅程。那是一次我大概十岁时的旅行，我照例坐在后座的长椅上，祖父开着车，祖母坐在他旁边，吸着烟。我讨厌烟味。

家人有过不宜暴扬，不宜轻弃。

大国总是在寻找机会以牺牲对手为代价来获得权力，如果他们认为使用武力会带来战略优势，他们就会使用武力。

The great powers are always searching for opportunities to gain power at the expense of their rivals, and they will use force if they believe it will bring them strategic advantage.
